PW3 uneven light

Trevomader · 07-04-2018, 03:52 PM

Hello guys, just bought a Paperwhite 3 and have problems with uneven light at the bottom.
Is this problem still common to this day or am I just unlucky?

Some shadows are normal as the light beams disperse. Turn the light down a bit...

They only have 4 LEDs so it's somewhat normal.

If it is a problem then you should return it for a Voyage.

Thanks for the answers, since it's an old issue i was hoping for better quality control nowadays, but i guess the problem persists to this day.
Also got a "dead" pixel, i guess theres no quality control at all, but since i live in Brazil getting a replacement is going to take a long while, and the replacement can come with worse issues.
I guess i'll have to live with it.
